Shelby & Adrian’s intimate micro wedding was one for the books. My team member Emily photographed their wedding, and editing their photos honestly made me pretty jealous that I wasn’t there!

Ciara & Carl are married! 🥳 It was raining, or at least misting, the entire day. Actually, it rained for days on either side of their wedding too. Despite rain falling while taking all of these photos, Ciara & Carl were such great sports about it. Yes, their hair was wet. Ciara’s dress train was […]
